Article 8 of the 2014 Broadband Cost Reduction Directive required that new buildings and major renovations should have in-building physical infrastructure to support connections to superfast broadband.

In response to this, and following a consultation process in 2015, the government introduced new regulations (SI 2016/490) which introduced requirements for in-building physical infrastructure for high-speed electronic communications networks, and [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-speed-electronic-communications-networks-approved-document-r Approved Document R, Physical infastructure for high-speed electronic communication networks], to provide guidance on these requirements.

Building regulations establish standards to be achieved in the construction of buildings. Approved documents provide guidance for how the building regulations can be satisfied in common building situations.

Approved Document R was published in April 2016 and takes effect on 1 January 2017. It applies in England to new buildings and to existing buildings subject to major renovation works. It applies both to dwellings and to buildings other than dwellings.

It introduces a requirement for infrastructure enabling the installation of copper or fibre-optic cables or wireless devices capable of delivering broadband speeds of more than 30 Mbps. In-building infrastructure is required from the services provider’s access point, to the occupier’s network termination point.

Where the access point is ‘…the physical point, located inside or outside the building, accessible to undertakings providing or authorised to provide public communications networks, where connection to the high-speed-ready in building physical infrastructure is made available.’

And the network termination point is ‘…a physical point at which an occupier is provided with access to high-speed electronic communications networks’.

The approved document notes that standard copper telephone cable is capable of delivering speeds of up to 70 Mbps when connected to a service provider’s fibre network.

The contents of the approved document are:

* The approved documents.
* The Building Regulations.
* Approved Document R, Physical infrastructure for high-speed electronic communication networks.

# Summary
